Check all wiring connections on cdi unit - just follow spark plugs leads back. If all cables are ok then you need to check the cdi unit out. Check that cut out switch is not on, although it should not tunr over, if this was the case
Honda should still sell this part. otherwise check eaby or craigslist or a bike juckyard but with electrical components my preference is always new and original replacement parts if available.
Did the problem with the fuses blowing start just after the new fuel pump was installed? I would guess there is a loose connection or a wire on the frame rail that has been pinched by the tank.
Fuel pump relay...had this problem a couple years ago. It's used for if the bike tips over, it kills the fuel pump. You can bypass this or find a used relay. New ones are discontinued. It shows in the Honda service manual for that year how to bypass the relay to test the fuel pump. In your case it's to test to see if the relay is the cause of it dying...mine would die and then not start for some time...then it would start as if nothing was wrong until it happened again. Good luck.
I too have a 1087 Honda Shadow and after we rebuilt, cleaned and painted the bike, it would not spark.
Behind the battery, check the CDI box. Look inside and shake upside down, looking for the presence of water. Once we completley dried out the unit. The bike runs like a champ.
the other day I rode in the rain for 160 miles. Engine died. Went to the CDI, water was there. Dried it out and again the bike runs fine. I am going to seal my cdi unit now. and hopefully the problem will not come back.
